I father had prostate cancer last year. He has clean bill of health now. He is almost 70 yrs old. He had what they call "seeds" put in his prostate. They did it right in the doctors office as an outpatient things. He said he had no side effects. But he did stay away from my dil and granddaughter. My dil was pregnant at the time. He was considered radoative. The doctor did tell him to limit the time he was around small children and pregnant women. Mostly not let them sit on his lap. That is hard for a great grandfather to do. So instead of them visiting my dil he would call every week and talk to my granddaughter.

He had no otherside effects that I know of. The don't need to be removed they disolve.

I will keep you and your dh in my prayers.
